Paul's blog & Skype

I discovered a video blog about Poznań.....https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BbJaC3yxK-4#t=46. It's actually on Facebook at...https://www.facebook.com/pages/Paul-Poznan/338613886245407. It's interesting for anyone who wants to know more about the city we live in. His video's are in English and only about 5-6 minutes long. It appears that he makes one every month in different locations of Poznań. This Englishman has been living in Poznań for 10 years.

Wednesday mean's Kandulski day so we had our meeting with Zbyszek at 3:00PM.

I had a bad experience with Skype today. I clicked on the update and it wouldn't work. I tried several times and nothing happened. I went to Skype Help Chat and a "technician" came on who I told my problem to. He asked to remote access my laptop to fix the problem and for an hour and a half he was unsuccessful. In the end, he told my operating system was corrupted and I had to reinstall the whole system. During that time he switched me from user to administrator where he tried numerous times to fix the problem. Nothing worked so he said reinstall the OS. I didn't accept that opinion. I went back into user mode and tried to delete Skype but a message said two users had the program, me and the administrator and it couldn't be deleted. Then I signed out of administrator, rebooted my computer and lo and behold Skype appeared again and was useable. I'm using version 6.18.106 and the new version is 6.20 but I'm not going to download it because I'll have the same problem again. It's frustrating to spend so much time waiting for something to be fixed and then be told it's my OS that is bad when it is not.

Hi David

The rule of thumb is that if you have any programme or computer problems just shut down and close, wait 10 minutes and reboot... this solves a lot of problems David have you considered visiting Romania? Its a a interesting place to visit.. How did you got with the health insurance. Love visiting the site. Marcus

Hi Marcus,Unfortun4ately, now I have a new problem. When I turn on my computer I get a message it will restart in 15 minutes to finish installing important updates. I can't get rid of it, I can only restart of close the message and then in 15 minutes it shuts down. every time it restarts.We're are still waiting on the insurance thing because the U.S. said it takes 1-2 months to make the address change for deposits.
